Do you have a set of watercolors? If not, this fun project will give you reason to pick one up.

My kids and I have been keeping sketchbooks for a few months, and we enjoy the challenge of testing out new techniques, materials, and ideas as we move through our books. Painting over stickers (and then peeling them back) presents children with the opportunity to learn about masking off areas of their work, negative space, and paint-resist.

This project is ideal for preschoolers and above.

Materials

Watercolor paints

Paintbrush/es

Paper Towels or rags for blotting paint.

Sketchbook or Heavy Paper that can support a fair amount of water. Watercolor Paper is ideal.
